This was a fun dish to take to a potluck. It looked awesome layered in my trifle bowl! I cubed my cornbread rather than crumbling. It made for nice presentation. I used a homemade ranch dressing that was yogurt based to save on calories and fat. Next time, I'll use more dressing. It needed a bit more than 16 oz.

This was delicious!! To make this a little lighter, I made my own dressing w/the ranch packet, greek yogurt and 1% milk. I cut the cheese down to just sprinkling it on top and didn't use the bacon. I did use the corn with the red and green pepper in it too. It was so moist and full of flavor! A definite keeper...

This is a delicious, flexible, yummy recipe! I used a Jiffy corn bread mix with about 3/4 of a 7 oz can of diced green chilies and an additional 1/2 tsp cumin. I used black beans and real bacon. My dressing was Marie's Creamy Ranch Dressing, and the corn was Trader Joe's fire roasted frozen corn. A half a batch was perfect for eight people with lots of other food available, and we all had a little leftover for tomorrow. This is exactly the type of recipe I love because it lends itself so well to variations of all sorts. It was very yummy, and I recommend it without reservations!

Great recipe, never fails to impress. I make my own cornbread and use bottled Kraft Peppercorn Ranch dresing, sometimes shredded chicken instead of bacon. Easily becomes no meat version for vegetarians and if you check for a cornbread recipe with corn meal only...it is a great salad for celiacs or those who prefer a diet that is gluten free.

Our family loved it! Great meal on 100 degree days! I used jalepeno ranch dressing and chunky salsa (medium hotness). I make my own cornbread so did not use the package. The cornbread can be made evening before, and throw salad together the next morning. Saved me time! Next time I will use shredded cold chicken instead of the bacon. Like the flexibility of adding avocado, jalepenos, or sour cream if individuals want to their own plates, but we thought it was filling enough without it. Made enough for left-overs the next night. Thanks for sharing! This is going in my favorite recipe box and I have shared with two people so far.
